Like we first reported earlier, Britney Spears took the stage at the House of Blues in San Diego for a surprise 20 minute appearance.

Fans waited outside the venue for at least 3 hours and popped around $125 per ticket to see the pop princess' first public performance in 3 years.

One disappointed fan told the Associated Press, “It looked like she lip-synched her way through the whole thing.” Nevertheless, she did actually perform and she was said to be having a great time.

Her only words came as she was leaving. "Thanks everyone for coming," she told the packed club. Other surprise performances are already being scheduled. She is set to perform in San Francisco on Monday May 7th.
